What is a Fulfillment Center?

Answer:
A fulfillment center is a warehouse

facility which stores inventory for a business off-site from the business storefront. Fulfillment centers are able to assist businesses by providing warehousing, order processing, order returns, order exchanges, direct marketing services, Internet sales, and inventory management.

Some fulfillment centers have the capability to provide specialized custom services such as monogramming or gift-wrapping merchandise. The fulfillment center is responsible for the handling and shipping of your product to your customers. It is important that the fulfillment center is reliable – as there’s a great possibility for return customers to your business if they’ve been treated fairly and have received their merchandise in a timely manner.
